My enjoyment of this kid is at an all time high. (to borrow a quote from J.Romney) I'm loving the great personality. Here are a few reasons why. Back the fall we found out CC needed glasses... so we got her one pair, then another one, then sunglasses, then another pair. Yes, that's 4 pair of glasses in less than 6 months. The doctors office is now adding on a new wing and since she started at the age of 5 wearing glasses - she's a cash cow. (for the dr. not us) Connor's favorite past time (other than getting into my make-up) is ripping them off her face, twisting them and laughing. We have been to the eye doctor numerous times to get them "an-justed" (that's CC for adjusted) and the last time we were there one of the assistants told her "You have got to keep your little brother away from your glasses." (which was totally helpful because we just never thought of that) So here they are in order of appearance and in order of Connor destroying them. (sorry, if you want to see then sunglasses - they're on the previous post)
She is so funny about her glasses. She loves her cleaning cloths - which is ironic because I'm the only one who uses them. Going to church on Sunday she was telling me the following. "Mom, if you're like wearing an outfit and it's going wrong, one of the things you can do is change your shoes, change your belt. But me, I'm lucky because I wear glasses so they're always like a part of my outfit and they match anything. So my outfits mostly don't go wrong because hello - I wear glasses. And also, you cant wear a busy top with a busy bottom - even if they are the same colors. Stuff like that doesn't work. Those are some of the things I'm learning." Awesome. I hit a bird in the car a few days ago, CC said, "Don't worry mom, Canada has lots of birds." We shaved the dog - a black and white border collie - Daisy comes back home and CC says, "Sweet, we got a Dalmatian. In response to just about any question you ask her: "I have no idea." And, a least twice a day, "Who's your favorite child? And don't say Cala's your favorite 8 year old and I'm your favorite 5 year old." Finally, she got a new primary teacher at church. He was in Darrens youth group at church but graduated and went to BYU for a year. He's back while he waits for his mission call - on Sunday, he's now stuck with a bunch of 5 year-olds. CC was telling us about her new teacher and said, "I don't know his name but he used to hang out with dad." Oh ya - one more thing. Ballet class. For a big stretch she didn't want to go. I kept telling her if she wanted out of it she had to talk to her teacher. One day after class she said, "I asked my teacher about quitting. She said to talk to you." Don't worry, we're not quitting until the recital is over next week. But she has started to like it so I glad I didn't let her quit.
